It's for example. It's c executable based on iMatix library with XML
support. It's very small and fast.

No. It's same trouble with editing and DTD specification as with numbered
attributes.

Dir may by attribute.
I prefer Minmal XML, whitch is subset of XML defined in
http://www.docuserve.com/smldev/minxmlspec.html
It's suported by simple XML parser, whitch can bee staticaly linked into C
backend.
I don't know is complex parsers, like expat, can bee staticaly linked to run
backend on other system or fit it na floppy?
